Ive been going to Dr Walker for 20 years now. A nurse takes you back and goes over all your information then relays to to Dr Walker, so when she walks in the room she is prepared to work with you. I see the doctor every single time I go. I fully trust her with making sure im always taking the medications that work best for me.

ALWAYS! I have recommended Dr. Walker to many, she is amazing at every aspect of giving her patients the compassion and sternness when need be and I say that because I am seven years sober and bipolar in remission (NO MEDS) thanks to Dr. Walker! I am also going into my third year of psychology major, concentrated in substance abuse counseling and she has went over and beyond to assist in furthering my education and future life goals! Thank you and your beautiful staff for never giving up on me!

I love Dr. Walker. She’s helped me so much with my struggle of addiction. The people leaving bad reviews don’t understand how Psychiatry offices work..

Dr. Walker is the first doctor who I found who knows psychiatric medication. She has a great personality and I look forward to going to my appointments!

I highly recommend treatment with Dr. Walker. She will discuss your medicine as little or as much as you need. She prescribes medication so, of course, you don't get a formal 50-minute talk therapy session but you can discuss the highlights and what you need help with. She doesn't take insurance but some insurances will give you a discount after you've met your deductible. Pricey but worth it. Knoxville, in general, has lousy mental health practitioners. Dr. Walker is the bright light. I'm still looking for a good talk therapist.
